Pancreas

Incidental Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas: Performance of the AGA, European, and IAP Guidelines in Advising Further Management after Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle Aspiration Biopsy.

The AGA-2015 criteria were highly specific, while IAP-2024 had superior sensitivity. All had moderate sensitivity to indicate surgery, and al missed similar numbers of malignant lesions. Performing EUS-FNA before application of guidelines seems appropriate to guide further management of asymptomatic PLs, preventing unnecessary surgery and referring patients appropriately for surveillance. The ESG-2018 guideline proved most accurate for this purpose.

J Crohns Colitis

Systematic Review on definitions of Intestinal Ultrasound Treatment Response and Remission in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

This systematic review reveals significant variability in IUS definitions of response and remission in IBD, highlighting the need to standardize eligibility criteria and outcome measures for IUS in IBD clinical trials.

Coffee Consumption, Additive Use, and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes- Results from Three Large Prospective US Cohort Studies.

Adding sugar or artificial sweetener significantly attenuated the magnitude of the inverse association between higher coffee consumption and T2D risk, whereas the use of cream did not alter the inverse association.

Gut microbiota may modify the association between dietary polyphenol intake and circulating levels of hippuric acid: results from a 1-year longitudinal study in China.

The gut microbial genera that predicted circulating HA levels may modify the association between dietary polyphenol intake and circulating HA levels, and elevated serum HA concentrations are favorably associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk markers.

Inflamm Bowel Dis

Disease-State Dependent Associations Between Intrinsic Brain Function and Symptoms of Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety in Crohn's Disease.

Intrinsic brain function in patients with CD varies by disease state, with prominent frontal cortex changes in active disease. These brain activity changes are at least partly related to the magnitude of neuropsychiatric symptoms and highlight a role of disturbed brain-gut interactions in the development of EIS especially in rCD.

Effectiveness and Safety of Adalimumab in Patients With Very Early-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Retrospective Study on Behalf of the Porto Inflammatory Bowel Disease Working Group of European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition.

Adalimumab therapy is a viable therapeutic option in patients with VEO-IBD with an acceptable safety profile.

Expression Profile of MicroRNAs in Breast Milk of Women With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Correlation With Disease Activity and Medical Treatments.

This study highlights that miRNAs in breast milk are differentially expressed in mothers with IBD, influenced by the disease and its treatments. These findings emphasize the impact of maternal health on milk composition and potential implications for infant immune development. Understanding these findings may guide personalized treatment strategies for mothers and promote breastfeeding among mothers with IBD.

J Crohns Colitis

Assessment and Reporting of Extraintestinal Manifestations and Fatigue in Phase 3 Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Trials.

EIM and fatigue data is inconsistently collected in RCTs of IBD. Standardizing collection methods across RCTs would provide greater insight on these agents and their efficacy in treating these manifestations of disease.

GSDMB modulates intestinal epithelial homeostasis via regulating hyperactive unfolded protein response in Crohn's disease.

We have uncovered an important and a previously unrecognized role of GSDMB in intestinal homeostasis, which represents a potential therapeutic target for intestinal inflammation.

Severe obesity, a susceptibility factor for developing inflammatory bowel disease. Results of a population-based study.

Severe obesity and BS were independent risk factors for the development of IBD. Non-invasive screening for IBD seems to be warranted in this population.

The Impact of Advanced Medical Therapies on Time to Resection and Colorectal Cancer Outcomes in Ulcerative Colitis Patients Undergoing Colectomy.

Advanced therapy patients had higher incidental cancers rates, associated with decreased CRC-survival. Awareness of timely colectomy is crucial for this group.

Liver Transpl

Differential aging trends among Liver Transplant candidates with and without hepatocellular carcinoma.

Among over 132,000 liver transplant registrants from 2012 to 2022, the age of HCC candidates increased, with a growing proportion aged 70 and older, while the age and proportion of older adults among non-HCC registrants remained stable. This demographic shift underscores the importance of enhanced frailty assessments to improve outcomes for older HCC patients.

Exploring auxiliary liver transplantation in the era of transplant oncology - A proposal for a new liver splitting program (ALERT-50).

Additionally, adopting an ex-situ splitting technique during hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion could further enhance logistical efficiency and improve graft viability. The proposed protocol (ALERT 50) will therefore promote the development of oncologic indications without affecting the standard waiting list and without competing with urgent or pediatric patients.

Outcomes of pediatric liver retransplantation candidates in the modern era: Strategies are needed to avoid waitlist mortality in the United States.

Once relisted, the timing of suitable organ availability was vital. The opportunity for technical variant grafts is crucial to capture every potential transplant opportunity could ultimately decide between life and death.

Pancreas

A Modified Procedure to Improve Pancreatic Drainage in Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Head Dominant Disease.

We describe a surgical technique which may reduce the risk of pancreaticojejunal stricture in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for chronic pancreatitis. In a small series of patients, this procedure can be performed safely with acceptable results.

Pancreatology

Early prediction of post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis after pancreaticoduodenectomy based on serum C-reactive protein.

Serum CRP levels on POD 2 are strongly associated with the development of PPAP after PD. This finding has the potential to enable tailored postoperative management and pave the way for the anti-inflammation strategies targeting the early postoperative period.
